How is money spent to produce the show?

The Lambeth Country Show remained free in 2019 for all to enjoy. The cost of producing a show of this scale is increasing each year for various reasons such as health & safety, security, crowd management and medical cover. We have published a full budget to demonstrate how public money is spent on the show.

Total expenditure in 2019 was £1,038,362. Organisers secured income from concession sales and small sponsorship and advertising packages to the value of £395,490. This income is offset against the total expenditure and Council budget is assigned each year to pay for the shortfall. The total cost to the Council in 2019 was £642,827.
